[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 105521, member: 1550"] Has he been evaluated by a neuropsychologist? in my opinion this child should defintely be looked at again for high functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). If not, perhaps he has a mood disorder, but his "quirks" remind me so much of my little guy when he was that age, plus his unexplained outbursts that I didn't "get" until I realized how frustrated he was with our world--he didn't understand it at all. What looks like defiance can, and usually is, a very miserable child. It's not your fault. He obviously has some disorder that needs the proper treatment. And what has been diagnosed and is being treating just isn't working.in my opinion the behavior will not go away by behavioral methods nor get better without the proper diagnosis and treatment or even just medications. I think the best thing you can do for your little guy is to have a neuropsychologist assessment like my son had--all twelve hours of it. THAT professional nailed him right and things improved almost right away. ADHD/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)--big red flags for a child who is actually on the Spectrum, but it's being called something else. Is he getting school interventions besides the speech? Early education? I know it's hard, been there. (((Hugs))) and good luck regardless of what you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
